Contributors

IGLYO would like to express its sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the LGBTQI Inclusive Education Index and Report possible. This project is the culmination of time, effort, expertise, and support from many different individuals, organisations and institutions. While it is not possible to name everyone, we would like to specifically thank the following.

Funders

The Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture & Science for providing additional funding to cover the start-up costs, without which, the project could not have happened. The Rights Equality and Citizenship programme 2014-2020 of the European Union also kindly provided co-funding.

Partners

Our esteemed European partners, ILGA-Europe, Transgender Europe (TGEU) and OII Europe have provided us with guidance, advice and support throughout the project. They have also played a vital role in reviewing and verifying a great deal of the data contained in the report.

IGLYO Member Organisations and Country Leads

The majority of data presented in this report was researched and provided on a voluntary basis from individuals who work or volunteer for LGBTQI civil society organisations in the field of education. Without dedicated and knowledgeable people in each country, who were committed to the project, IGLYO would have been unable to produce such a comprehensive review. Everyone who wished to be named has been mentioned below.

Governmental feedback

A previous version of this report was presented at the Follow-up meeting to evaluate the education sector responses to violence based on actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and variations in sex characteristics, which took place at the European Parliament in January 2018. IGLYO thanks the following governments for providing feedback: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Kosovo, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden and United Kingdom.

LGBTQI Inclusive Education Project

Thanks to Rubén Ávila, IGLYO’s Education Officer, for co-ordinating the project, liaising with all the contributors, and carrying out desk research to ensure that all the data is as current, relevant and accurate as possible.
